Next Wednesday evening (after we close for regular service at 4pm) we’ll be hosting a Meet & Greet Fundraiser event with Minnesota State House District 3A candidate

“The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is the most visited Wilderness in America. It is Minnesota’s crown jewel — and right now, it needs a champion in St. Paul who has actually stood watch over it.
Aaron Kania spent five years as the Kawishiwi District Ranger in Ely, the federal official directly responsible for stewardship of the heart of the Superior National Forest and a big part of the BWCAW. He served in a leadership role for the 2021 Greenwood Fire, led front-line response to the 2024 floods, and was part of the team on the 2025 Brimson Complex fires. For nearly three decades, he has served as protector and steward of our public lands.
Now he is running for the Minnesota House District 3A seat — the largest House district in the state, stretching from International Falls to Grand Portage down to Silver Bay and the North Shore. This district encompasses the entirety of the Boundary Waters Voyageurs National Park, and treaty lands
[…]
Aaron understands something that is genuinely rare in politics: that protecting wild land and supporting working people are not opposing goals. As District Ranger, he worked daily with the public, industry, local leaders, and environmental groups to make decisions that impacted our natural resources and public land. No grandstanding. No partisan posturing. Just hard conversations with those at the table, followed by decisions he was willing to stand behind.
That experience — managing real tradeoffs under real pressure — is exactly what District 3A needs in the legislature.”

—Fully Certified Organic grapes are hand-harvested early to preserve freshness and balance. In the cellar, the philosophy is minimal intervention: a short maceration on skins, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and aging exclusively in stainless steel to retain purity and terroir expression. The 2024 vintage shows a restrained yet expressive profile, with subtle tropical notes of papaya and passionfruit layered over citrus oils, white flowers, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it is clean and energetic, marked by bright acidity, light phenolic grip, and a mineral-driven finish that keeps the wine precise and refreshing.

keeps us thoroughly hooked up with the finest in natural/organic/low-intervention wines
